Hey guys, the next chapter's up. Thanks to MoonlightUmbreon, DPcrazy, Ali Phantom, Kimi-Velia and sciencefreak330 for reviewing. You guys make me so happy. )

Ali Phantom: Doesn't bandages and cabbages ryhme with oranges?

So, on with the story. Before I forget...

I do not own Danny Phantom. If DP belonged to me, it would not be a cartoon.

Dash

What is Fentoad's name doing below Phantom's name? What is so great about Fentoad that the ghost would skip over him, Dash Baxter?

Oh wait, Fentoad's parents are ghost hunters.

But still, Phantom's cool. Fentoad's a total klutz. Besides, if Fentoad was Phantom, he would have fought back by now.

Fought back… wait…

There were a few times when he saw Fentoad's eyes glow green. It was rare and only happened when he was so angry that he was boiling. But every time he looked at them again, he could only see blue.

Then there were a few times when he would be taunting Fentoad and then the next thing he knew, he was dunking his head in a bucketful of water, or banging himself against his locker or some other stuff. Now that's weird.

And then there was this week last year when Fentoad kept falling, dropping stuff, being more klutz than usual, if that was possible. He could still remember the time when Fentoad's pants fell off while he was confessing to Paulina.

Phantom, Fentoad, no, Fenton. Phantom is Fenton, Fenton is Phantom. It's so obvious! Why hasn't anyone figured that out yet?

Dash turned around and glared at Danny. The raven-haired youth sunk lower. By then, the table was already at his mouth.

Well, that explained the time when he was assigned to be Fenton's fitness buddy. Some ghost was chasing him, with Phantom at his tail, then Fenton's dad shrunk them. But in the end, they managed to unshrink themselves. He suggested hanging out but Phantom didn't take it well. The next thing he knew, Phantom had shrunk him.

He did not do puny. Phantom or not, he's going to pay.

Lancer

That ghost had some nerve. How dare he disrupt his English class! But that's the last thing on his mind right now.

Danny Phantom and Daniel Fenton. Although he didn't look like it, he was concerned for his raven-haired student. He knew that Mr. Fenton was actually a bright kid. Mr. Fenton can easily get an A average if he would just study. The make up test he gave Danny last time proves it.

Regardless of all the trouble and staggering amount of detention Mr. Fenton gets himself into, he knew that his pupil was a good kid.

Now if only he knew what was bothering him. Coming late for class, leaving class all the times, then coming back tired or bruised, sometimes skipping class altogether. What could the boy be doing? He was worried that Mr. Fenton was getting involved in gang fights.

Mr. Fenton was never very sociable, preferring to hang out with Miss Manson and Mr. Foley. But ever since that accident in his parent's lab, he became more withdrawn. He also realized that the three friends were getting much more experienced at lying.

They even have a poker face now, though Mr. Fenton's nervous habit still remains unchanged. The excuses Miss Manson and Mr. Foley come up with to cover for Mr. Fenton are improving with time. However, they are forgetting something. If they thought that he didn't notice the wounds Mr. Fenton gets all the time, they were underestimating him.

Why can't the students ever remember that teachers are still humans? He sometimes wished that he knew the cause behind Mr. Fenton's disturbing behaviour. And his wish may have just come true. If Danny Phantom and Daniel Fenton, it would explain everything.

Lancer looked at Danny, watching Danny flinch and sink lower as their gaze met. He was surprised that Danny could even sink lower, seeing that his blue eyes were now just visible above the table. In the brief time their gaze met, he had seen the fear in Danny's eyes.

The fear of rejection.

He was sure now, that Danny Phantom and Daniel Fenton were one and the same. The student trying to sink into his chair at the back of the classroom was the ghost boy and the son of two ghost hunters.

Son of two ghost hunters… ghost boy... Now I understand.

Valerie

What is the ghost doing here? Why did he write Danny's name on the black board with ghost boy's name? It's not like they're related or anything.

Wait… both of their names sound the same. Even their surnames sound similar. It's too similar to be a coincidence. But Danny can't be a ghost. He can't be.

Danny has black hair and blue eyes. Ghost boy has white hair and green eyes. Danny is a klutz. Ghost boy isn't, or she would have caught him by now. Danny is kind, always thinking about others before himself. Ghost boy ruined her life. Danny's cute. Ghost boy's… cute…

Valerie mentally compared her classmate with her enemy. They both had the same messy hair, if you ignored their hair colour. They had the same nervous habit of rubbing their neck with their hands. They both had the same voice.

No! No! Danny can't be the ghost boy. Danny wouldn't ruin her life. Not that she would want to go back to her old life. Leaving her comfort zone really made her wake up to reality. But still, ghost boy almost made her father lose his job. Not to mention that ghost boy also revealed her to her father and destroyed her old suit.

But if Danny really was ghost boy, it would explain Sam's hostility towards her, besides the fact that Sam saw her as a love rival for Danny. She was hunting half of Danny while hunting the other half. Everything is so messed up!

Wait Valerie, calm down. What if this was all a sick joke. What if the ghost only wrote the two names on the board to give Danny trouble? Danny's parents are ghost hunters, she wouldn't be surprised if there are ghosts who hold a grudge against the Fentons. But targeting Danny? They have crossed the line.

The red huntress let her gaze wonder over to Danny. He cringed as his blue eyes met her gaze. His eyes disappeared under the table, followed by an 'oof' as Danny landed on the floor. He blushed and quickly scrambled back into his seat.

Usually the class would be filled with laughter, accompanied by a few insults by Dash. But now, there was only silence. Valerie clenched her fists. She will protect Danny and find the ghost behind this. And when she finds it, she'll kick it's butt back to the ghost zone.

One chapter done. As usual, please review. I'm starting to get addicted to them. XP

I have one question. What fruit does Valerie like? Can't remember the spelling...

And right now, I have the writer's block. At least I draft the chapters beforehand. Hopefully, the writer's block would clear before I run out of chapters. )
